Amazing how quick one defeat and everything is shit

Yeah, it’s as if we’re the only team that’s been dicked or had an embarrassing result this year.
 

Never mind the players, it says something about the fans that we get one poor result in a while and it’s “ohh back to Villa of old now”. Wonder if they realise this feeds into the players and is probably why they seem to enjoy not playing in front of us.

Well no he actually hasn’t. Been playing very well and scoring.

Sorry, I disagree. I've watched their last two matches start to end and he was well off the pace. Of course he turns up today.

It was always going to happen at some point and irritating as it is, it’s against Leeds the important thing now is the next game, and how we react. We move on, we go again 

Nope it’s a disaster. Sack the lot. We’ve had 1% possession and no attacks at all. Pathetic. Relegation beckons.

So we are terrible tonight. 

But let's get some perspective. 

If you listen to the commentators Leeds are the best team to play in the premier - bielsa is a genius. 

They are 2 points behind us, we have a have a game in hand. 

Not quite as good as they think.

Got to be honest I feel like it's mostly the midfield having a bad night, their runners are what's doing us.

There's a lack of support defending out wide, even when our fullbacks push, and then when the ball does find its way to the centre they are either getting beaten to it or just far too late to get back.

 

If they were adding a lot going forward it would make sense but right now they're just passengers and considering there's 3 of them it's difficult to give the benefit of the doubt

A game of fine margins, possible bookings to red cards, Jack's miracle run, Konsa's chance. Bamford missed two efforts in the first half (case in point, we handled him pretty well). Leeds play at an explosive intensity and the silly mistakes crept in. It's not good enough against such opposition. We don't become a bad team overnight, but you have to eliminate such basic mistakes and not expose the full backs as much.
